The Local Lion in Boone is a popular spot for coffee and donut lovers. The freshly roasted coffee, which can be watched being roasted and brewed, is a highlight of the experience. One reviewer described a "wonderfully rich 16 oz Sumatra coffee" as the best they've had in months. The donuts come in many flavors, from cinnamon and sugar cake donuts to maple and espresso, and are praised for being light yet flavorful. The café has a very chill atmosphere, both inside and outside, making it a perfect place to relax, work, or chat with friends. There is plenty of seating and tables, and the outside area is nice too. The mugs used here are made by an Appalachian State University alumni, adding a local touch. Customers also enjoy trying different local cafes, with some favorites being the Blueverry Jasmine donut and Local Lotus with a Cortado. The donuts are soft, fluffy, and crispy on the outside, with subtle flavors that come through well. Service is quick and friendly, and the atmosphere is completely stress-free. Overall, The Local Lion offers great coffee, tasty donuts, and a welcoming environment for everyone.
